Arsenal sign 16-year-old

Arsenal will sign teenage French striker Gilles Sunu in July after coming to an agreement with his club Chateauroux yesterday.

The 16-year-old, the son of former Togo international Manu Sunu, will cost between £700,000 and £1 million and will sign a four-year deal next month.

There were more immediate transactions on transfer deadline day, notably at Cardiff, who turned to Luton to aid their promotion hopes when they signed striker Warren Feeney on loan to replace the injured Michael Chopra.

Chopra, the leading scorer in the Championship, is out for up to a month with a hamstring problem. After Cardiff had a bid of £150,000 for Feeney turned down, the clubs have agreed a deal until the end of the season with Cardiff paying £125,000, with a view to Feeney, 26, signing for City when his contract expires in the summer.

Meanwhile, Blackburn defender Michael Gray has returned for a second loan spell at Leeds. The 32-year-old, who spent three months at Elland Road in 2005, arrives for a month with a view to staying until the end of the season. Leeds host Preston a week today.

Leeds manager Dennis Wise secured the services of Wolves striker Jemal Johnson until the end of the season 24 hours earlier after extending his loan.
